Here we are on the very last day of October.. a month where we've really honed in on the plight of our refugee and immigrant brothers and sisters who are living here in the states.. many carrying with them the baggage of heartbreak and tragedy.

Today, we're going to get back to Bram's chat with one dynamic couple.. who have an equally dynamic ministry to refugees - based in St. Louis (Mark and Joani Akers of Oasis International).

We pick it up with Mark describing how everyone gathers together for English class...

If you've ever wondered about how you can support a refugee or immigrant family, many of whom have risked life and limb while fleeing their homeland, don't miss this opportunity of supporting our outreach project this month of FORAI (Friends of Refugees and Immigrants).

So much of our ministry work is focused overseas, having lead humanitian projects in 33 countries around the globe. Thanks to the travels of Norm and Cher Nelson, and, more recently, Bram and Sandi Floria. So when we get to shine the spotlight on an amazing, life-transforming ministry right here in the U.S., it brings us a special sense of joy.

Today, Bram continues his conversation with two gentlemen who are thriving in their ministry towards refugees and immigrants. We pick it up today with Pastor Kevin Vandenbrink speaking about the heart of his call to ministry..

When it comes to thinking about the plight of refugees and immigrants, would you consider yourself to be engaged and active on the issue? Or, perhaps you've been more passive in your approach or thought process?

Sandi Floria began a discussion yesterday with a gentleman named Joe McCann of the ministry World Relief, based in North Carolina. And we're going to continue today with part 2 of this eye-opening conversation about how you and I can truly be Christ's hands and feet to a world that needs Him so desperately.

If you did a keyword search of some of the most frequently used words on this program, I would well imagine that "refugee" would pop up quite frequently.

Today, we're going to open a window on the plight of the refugee who has sought, and FOUND asylum right here in the U.S. We're also going to hear about an amazing ministry called FORAI - which stands for 'Friends of Refugees and Immigrants,' based in St. Louis, Missouri.

On today's broadcast, Bram had the unique opportunity to sit down for a live radio interview with good friend, Roger Marsh, on his show called "The Bottom Line." This program originated from the studios of KBRT (K-Brite) in southern California, which is kind of the 'flagship station' for Compassion Radio.

Whenever these two get together, the conversation is always wide-ranging.. with sprinkles of good humor to go along with Bram's amazing stories from his travels abroad.

Today, we jump back into the studio for another lively conversation between Bram and Cher.. as they somehow try to help us make sense of some things that, quite frankly, not only don't make a lot of sense, but sometimes leave more questions than answers.

Today, we pick up the conversation we started yesterday in an interview that Bram Floria recorded in Athens, Greece several weeks ago with two amazing servants of the Lord: Dr. Jim Jennings of Conscience International, and Jonathan Macris of Euro Relief.

We pick it up with Jonathan talking about his heart's desire to bring Jesus to those he meets..

I'm sure you've heard the expression "it's all Greek to me." That phrase basically means, "it's beyond my comprehension." Today, we're going to endeavor to make YOU aware of what God is doing in and around the country of Greece. And by the time we're through with both today's and tomorrow's programs, we're confident that your spirit will be lifted by what is happening there.

When it comes to "tracking the triumph of God in every nation on earth," Bram Floria has taken on the challenge and legacy from Dr. Norm Nelson. Bram just returned from a journey that brought him face to face with the shocking reality face by refugees on and around the Isle of Lesbos, in Greece.

He spent 10 intense days travelling around the Mediterranean Sea and visiting with some new Compassion Radio partners. Many stories have been gathered, and he is eager to share them with us.
